A quieter surface for your ceramic forms

The Matt collection gives ceramic work a subtle finish that keeps attention on form and texture. Use it alongside Bright glossy glazes to explore contrasting surfaces. At the upper end of the firing range, the finish may become more satin.

Test application and satin blends

Stir well, then brush, sponge or stamp on 2-3 coats, allowing each coat to dry. Matt colors can be intermixed; mixing with Bright can produce a satin appearance, while Vibes combinations offer reactive effects.

Check the individual product's firing guidance and test on your clay body. Coat thickness, mixing proportions and kiln schedule all influence the final surface.
